The Journal aud Messenger, of Cincin-
n,ti. the central organ of the Baptists of
America, has this very sensible and truth
full utterance on the Dow law:
A good cause does not gain anything. in
the end, by the misrepresentation Of its
friends. Some of the friends of the good
cause of prohibition are doing If great in
jury by circulating poster with the follow
ing sts:ement: Two million dollars de-
rived from the Dow law. by which the
traffic is made legal Now. the
selling OF liquor was as legal as the
selling of dry goods. before the
passage Of the Dow law. and that law en-
ables any town 10 make the sale illegal
within its borders. In no part of the state
is the traffic any more legal that before: In
some places it becomes prohibitory law.
The Dow law is not so good as prohibit
tory law: not SO good a local option or tax
law as could be devised. but lit beats
nothing" and nothing is precisely what we
had before. There is something about the
organization Of a political party that causes
men TO lose their heads. and the methods of
the political prohibition party. unfortu-
nately, are not in contrast with those Of
the republican and democratic parties.

A Surgeons suicide.

A remarkable suicide has recently
been committed in St. Petersburg. A
short time ago woman, aged %, came
to consult DIR. Bodtkine, who found
that she was suffering from tuber-
culous ulcer.
An operation being deemed neces-
sary, DR. Botkine sent her to Nj.
Kolominne. surgeon of considerable
repute He administered to her a
slight dose of saline acid of cocaine,
and finding this did not take effect he
increased the dose and performed the
operation with complete success, but a
few hours afterward he received a mes
sage to say that his patient seemed to
be diving. and he found upon hurrying
to her, that. Judging by the feebleness
of the pulse and blush appearance OF
the face, she was suffering from the
effects of poison. All the efforts made
to save her were of no effect and she
died the same evening.
NJ Kolominne was SO overcome that
he denounced himself as her murderer,
though all his colleagues assured him
that he was in no way to blame. But
he would not listen to them, AID few
DAYS afterward he blew his brains out,
leaving a note in which he said: Il
must have been the victim of some
temporary alteration. and this h. !
caused the catastrophe which drives me
to despair. | am not guilty, for my in
tentions were good; but cannot live.

Thoughtful wood-Cutter.

The Rev. Hugh Gull is still well
remembered in Wayne County Indiana
where he lived for more than half a
century, and died at the advanced age
of 1O4 years. During the last four
years of his life he was afflicted with a
sort OF Aypochondria, and every once
in awhile imagined he was dying. On
one such occasion he mounted his
adopted daughter on a horse and sent
her to notify the members of his family,
who lived at some distance, that his
end was near, and if they desired to
see him die they must come at once.
While she was gone on this errand he
happened to think there was no wood
cut, and that his children would be
cold when they got to his bedside, as
it was in the middle of winter; so. for
getting about his near approach to
death, he got up and went to the wood
pile. and his children, when they
arrived in haste, found him cutting
wood to keep them warm while they
watched him die.

My grandmother has been telling me
something how the present styles in
women's under-garments came into
vogue. When she was "a child. she
said, no one wore any lower under
clothes except stockings. After 4
while there came fashion for panta-
lettes, which consisted simply of a
broad rufiie fastened by a tight band
just beloS the knee Children used TO
have two SEES, white ones for best, and
yellow nankeen or calico for every day
wear She said there was reason for
the fashion for pantalettes, as there is
for every decree of fashion. People
had begun to think it more sensible 10
put short dresses on children rather
than long gowns reaching below their
ankles and TO make the costume modest,
the extra coverings for the limbs was
invented. But the presence of tight
band about the leg was objectionable on
account of its discomfort, and the
remedy for this led to the next step in
the evolution of the present lower un-
dergarment.
To the outside of the broad ruflle was
attached the base of a long, acute angle
triangle of cloth. This triangle ex-
tended up the waist, where it wa,
buttoled to the chemise. This relieved
the pressure from the band, but, as the
support was one-sided, it caused the
rufile to hang unevenly at times. The
only remedy for this seemed to be the
adoption of the present form. in which
the whole of the lower por
ton of the body is covered. For long
time if anybody dared dream of such an
innovation she dared not speak of it.
and when at last the bounds were
leaped by some courageous women who
donned the first drawers there was a

How Bishop Berkeley Was Nearly Hanged.


The members of the Gaelic Society
were agreeably entertained last evening
by the Rev. DIR. Charles +. Deems, who
read paper on Berkeley, the Friend
of Ireland and America" before the
club i'm its yooms, No. IL West Twenty
eighth street. j. j. Callahan presided.
DIR. Deems began his remarks with a
short sketch of Berkeley's ancestors
and early life. and mentioned many in
teresting and amusing anecdotes of his
college days. Among them was one to
the effect that Berkeley was on one
occasion led by curiosity to see a man
hanged. The scene made sreh an inn
preston upon him that he became in
quisitive about the sensations one exper-
fenced in being hanged, and persuaded
his chum to try the experiment with
him. Berkeley was to be hanged first
and cut down by his friend upon a given
signal, whereupon the friend was to
undergo the experiment and the young
men were then To compare notes.
After Berkeley had been tied up to
the ceiling he lost conciousress, and
his chum waited in vain for the signal
to cut him down. If his chum had
not soon realized that he might wait
too long. Berkeley would have been
hanged i'm earnest. The only thing
Berkeley said when he recovered was,
BLESS my hear, Cou'erini, how you
have rumpl 4 my band" His friend
was perfectly satisfied with Berkeley 5
experience and did not care to try the
experiment.
The speaker then traced Bishop
Berkeley's career as prelate and
spoke of his scheme to established a
college in the Bermudas, which should
teach the savages of America the arts
of civilization. So ignorant of geo
graphy was the good Bishop that he
did not take into account the long
voyages which the yor1g savages
infiamed with thirst for knowledge
would have to paddle in their birch
canoes to reach their college.-NeW
